I think he would be a good fit for us. Chocco is great at developing players and the attitude of our boys is incredibly professional, whereas a lot of the bulldogs players seem to be about that party lifestyle.

If he would only cost us a late 3rd or late 4th round pick then why the heck not.

Exactly.  Beveridge's response to a challenge is to have whinge.

Don't quite understand the logic in trading Weid only to bring the Shach Attack in, but at the end of the day who really cares about either

Short memory @layzie. A Demonland poster set DL off with the Naughton rumour. It doesn't take much to set DL off.

Isnt it moneyball? the coaches have tried to get Weed over the line and feel they have had a good shot. Worth trying with someone else who currently is about the same but may improve under their coaching. Might be good for both players.

What’s with all the negativity? Mitch Brown’s stats look very unremarkable on paper but he did his job for us for three seasons. Weid had his moments at times too. We need someone to replace them for those same moments throughout a long season. Schache is about that quality of player. Honestly I’d rather just keep Weid but if he’s out, Schache makes perfect sense. 

Cam Pederson circa 2018 would be perfect right about now.

Sorry typo. I meant only rando 'callers' could set off DL like this. As well as everything else. My bad!

Cam Pedersen the ultimate man for a crisis situation.

[censored] i loved that man. 

Worth his weight in gold.

I don’t know who this team is that the Bulldogs beat up on, but Schache looks like he has bulked up, significantly. Takes some nice overhead marks. If it’s Weid out, this isn’t a bad replacement. Maybe the penny will drop for him at a new club. Dogs are stocked for forwards. They don’t need him.

Having played with Schache as a teenager, I thought this bloke was going to be phenomenal when he made the AFL, obviously that hasn’t panned out the way anyone would’ve liked it to.

But I still see his talent and potential for growth as a professional, so I don’t think it’s worth poo pooing the idea of bringing him in. After all, it’s a depth acquisition for a future third or fourth most likely so If he comes in and performs better than a Mitch Brown type - that’s a win to me. Heck even if he comes in purely to keep all of TMac, BBB & JVR on their toes, good.

It’s a low risk move with a chance of giving him some success after being a highly touted prospect

Not much of an attack either, more a Shach water pistol.

Some excellent memes here with the Shac/Weed comparisons. Good for a late night chuckle.

I feel there is no improvement/decline here however we’ll likely get Shache as a delisted free agent where as Weed nets us a third rounder.

That may assist us somewhere in the grand scheme of things

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
